It never drops prey. It is deadly and has a great sporting tradition."

In 1966 when falcons gave their first public appearance, they were dressed in red helmets with a black falcon crest logo. With it they wore white pants and either black or white jerseys. In the beginning the falcon crest logo was also printed on the jersey sleeves, but a year later it was replaced by a red and white stripe pattern one year later. In 1971, they shifted from black to red jerseys and the club started to wear grey pants in 1978.
Once again in 1990, the design of the uniform changed to black helmets, gray pants, and either black or white jerseys. Whereas the numbers on the white jerseys were black, but the color of numbers also was changed to red in 1997.
In 2003 both the logo and uniforms underwent a change. The logo was redesigned with red and silver accents to portray a more dominant, aggressive falcon. Even though the Falcons still wore black helmets, the new modified uniforms included jerseys and pants along with red trim down the sides. The uniform design consisted of either black or white jerseys, or either black or white pants. During that same year, a red alternate jersey with black trim was also introduced.
The red jerseys became the principal jerseys, and the black ones were the alternate in 2004. Actually Falcons were dressing in black pants with the white jerseys and white pants with the red jerseys. The Falcons wore an all-black combination for home games against the archrival New Orleans Saints in the past two seasons fortunately winning both contests (24-21 in 2004 and 36-17) in 2005.
